"The express train passes through this station" — I'm sure everyone has been late at least once after missing the announcement and boarding a local train without realizing it was the local one.
Subway Now is an app that shows you "where the train is right now" in real time, based on public data from the Seoul Metropolitan Government. It is especially useful when the timetable is off or when train schedules are messed up due to accidents or delays.
■ This is for those who:
- Have missed a train because they were confused between express and local trains.
- Have felt frustrated when opening a subway app and only the "timetable" appeared, without showing the actual train location.
- Are curious about "So when is it coming?" when there is an accident or delay.
- Need accurate arrival times during their commute.
■ Key Features
- Real-time train location: Check the map to see which stations the train is currently passing through.
- Estimated arrival time: See how many minutes until the train arrives at your current station.
- Express/Local train distinction: No need to worry about missing your stop by taking the wrong train.
- Displays train status accurately (entry, arrival, departure, etc.) (no false information).
- Separate display of direction at junction stations (e.g., Guro, Byeongjeom): Avoid confusion between Incheon direction and Cheonan/Sinchang direction.
